I myself have wondered what the whole 'tekkkkkk!' thing was. I assumed it was aimed at Hondatech and the like.

its basically questions in the form of "which cosmetic mod add's the most hp"

Don't neglect the little things; Low expansion brake lines (Boss 302, 90 bucks for all four); Cam Bolts for when you lower and want to save your tread; Bump Steer kit, stop jinking left/right/left etc... on bumps especially after lowering; One piece Aluminum driveshaft with a steel braided hydraulic line; Heavier Steada X-11 balljoints; ditch that stock shifter; Weather Tech floor mates, because one day someones going to drop a fully loaded 64 oz. soda. Thank you, my work here is done.

Autocross is pretty easy on the drive train. Staying with the stock fluids is fine. Stickier tires will be good at some point. However, just come out and get used to the car. I guaranty that the car will outperform you at this point. Once you get your skills together, start looking at tires, etc. You'll be glad that you waited to do the mods after you get some experience.

What part of Colorado are you in? The SCCA autocross is pretty active here. About a half dozen mustangs in different configurations run. Would love to see another one there.

I do HPDE's with PCA. I usually have my 911 out on those events. However, all marques are welcome especially mustangs.

I am co-chairing a PCA event at High Plains Raceway this weekend. Come on out and take a look around. It's too late to register for the event, but you can still get a feel for what it's about. I'm Jim Thorburn. Find me (I'll be pretty easy to find since I'm one of the chairs) and I'll show you around.

Welcome to the wonderful wacky world of motorheads!

Not that there's anything wrong with getting your engine up to 5500 RPM, but your reasoning for it being safe is that some other completely unrelated, expensive, well balanced and toleranced exotic can do the same?

Am I missing something here?




OP, I'd start out with a good helmet for events. Then maybe work my way up to an intake/tune and better brakes. Not sure about the newer V6s, but I warped my stock rotors on relatively tame mountain roads in Tennessee.

Yep...Le S197 Tekkkkkkkkkkk soon to be off topic

Mechanical stress goes up exponentially in higher revving engines. The point I was trying to make was that 300hp at 5-6k rpm isn't going to wear a v6 engine at all.
